For most Americans and Canadians who own a Lake Chapala Real Estate, the late summer and fall seasons are the favorite time to spend in their Chapala or Ajijic homes to enjoy the higher lake levels, and to enjoy the refreshing climate brought by the rainy season.  During the rainy season, warm sunny days are balanced by rainy late afternoons, which cool the temperatures.

One of Lake Chapala Real Estate’s main attraction is, of course, the lake itself, offering boating activity to the residents of area, and a beautiful view to those living in the towns of Chapala and Ajijic.  Mexico land and homes have had an increase of interest in the past 3 to 5 years with foreign buyers.  Many non-Mexican buyers are lured to the beautiful beaches, to colonial towns, lower costs of living, and of course affordable waterfront properties.  Ajijic is an area with hundreds of miles of waterfront with water levels that were somewhat low during this past  spring, but the good news is that due to recent rainfalls, Lake Chapala has maintained the benchmark of 95.83 cm for four straight days, including the 39 cm which it has recovered since June.

Since June 27, when the rainy season in the Lake Chapala Real Estate area started, the lake has been steadily recovering the water to reach its current level. The 39 cm in the water level represent 433 million cubic meters of water volume in the lake.

Lake Chapala has a total capacity of five thousand 664 million cubic meters and is at 71.73% of total capacity, according to the National Water Commission (CONAGUA).

Jaime Niembro has served on the Lake Chapala real estate board as vice president and treasurer. He also is an active member of the AMPI association having served as president including the Chamber of Commerce. Jaime is the owner broker of Ajijic Real Estate.
